If we were to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the crown would undoubtedly go to the new Onimusha installment, *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*. This trailer introduced us to the game's protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, brought to life with the likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. The trailer showcased Musashi in action, fiercely slicing through demons that have emerged from the depths of hell into the historic city of Kyoto. Yet, it wasn't all serious business; there were humorous moments where Musashi tries to escape from these relentless foes, adding a touch of levity to the intense action.
The storyline reveals that Musashi, through his unwavering faith, becomes the bearer of the powerful Oni Gauntlet. This gauntlet is not just a weapon but a key to his survival as he battles the monstrous entities that have invaded the world of the living. By absorbing the souls of these defeated monsters, Musashi can restore his health and unleash a variety of special abilities, making each encounter a thrilling challenge.
In addition to the excitement surrounding *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*, we were treated to a new trailer for the *Onimusha 2* remaster. The side-by-side comparison of these trailers vividly illustrates the leaps and bounds that graphics have made over the years. The remaster of *Onimusha 2* not only brings back nostalgic memories but also showcases how modern technology can enhance the visual experience of classic games, making them feel fresh and new for today's audiences.
